Carol Ann MacKay is a fine, popular nurse at a retirement home, and spends her free time with her hunky athletic husband Wayne MacKay, who was the star of her school's football team when she was high school prom queen; he still would do anything for her, including cleaning up the messes her ideas get them in. When legendary bank robber Henry Manning, who had a major stroke in prison, is placed in the home, supposedly having lost all control over his body, she notices he must be in far better condition then he lets appear, and tries everything to find out- when she pushes his wheelchair in a canal at a picnic, Henry gives up. The McKays keep his secret and Henry doesn't actually run in Waynes car as his first impulse was; soon Carol gets his confidence and the two start planning how they three can commit another robbery on an armored money transport, which brings them together. It doesn't go quite according to plan, but they get the loot; however, before the money can be split some big surprises change everything...
Leave your thoughts about Where the Money Is.
| EspinofAlberto AbuínPerhaps its final part is solved too easily, but there's a huge attractive in the fact that both characters get their way and continue their criminal work. [Full review in Spanish] |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA preposterous plot, but it's not about a plot, it's about acting. |
| New York TimesElvis MitchellSadly, the subtext and context of Money is that everyone's better days are a distant memory. |
| Baltimore SunAnn HornadayIt's just another modest, unsurprising little heist flick. So why is it so much fun? Newman. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyA light, old-fashioned, likable film that capitalizes on the personae of its three key performers and a sort of playfulness. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThe film never drags, but one of the enjoyable things about it is its way of taking its time letting us get to know and savor the characters. |
| New York PostLou LumenickThe Coen brothers might have done something inspired with this, but director Kanievska... turns out a more modestly entertaining little low-budget movie. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxUSA Films and director Marek Kanievska should be congratulated. They've done what thirty-odd years and countless films couldn't: make Paul Newman uninteresting. |
| Entertainment TodayBrent SimonA sly, smooth, extremely enjoyable caper... full of scenes you want to get lost in. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottYou might wish that Martin Scorsese had taken this one over -- Where the Color of Money Is could have been a lot better. |
